Absolutely... the original is SO awesome, as is every song from that album. Have you ever heard the 1989 version of "Round Here" done by Adam's previous band? It's on here somewhere. It's HEAVY compared to the August version.
I met him in June/July of 93 n we hung out. He showed me his lyric journal. He asked me out n i declined cause i had a boyfriend.. Who ended up cheating on me. 😪 His songs resonate with me so hard... I think about a hill i grew up on that i told him about.. Walking up on the hilltop n looking out n seeing for miles. I told him that it was one my favorite places. I had a picture of my dad on my dresser n i remember telling him i loved my dad n he was a cool dad. I told him 'he looks like Elvis huh!' 'I think he is handsome' Then i told him i wanted to be a dancer... I did not connect as to how my dad would feel about that. I just wanted to draw pictures with him. There was a band my gf knew of called Show n Tell. I wanted to draw the cover art for it. I had gone to Ocean City Artstore there by the beach n this was where i met him. I asked him if he wanted to draw with me. He just seemed like a cool dude. A cool cat if you will. So he obliged n we went walkin on by the beach to go draw. He left n came back with his journal. I liked it. I remember a satellite dish drawing he had in it. His music would be broadcasted all over the globe. He told me about his band Counting Crows. I often wonder what would have happened had i gone with him n left my cheating boyfriend behind. 'All your life is just a dream dream dream' I couldnt believe it when i saw him on tv in the Mr Jones video. I screamed! 'I know him!'😍 I was only 18 when i met him at the end of June 1993 right after i graduated highschool. I declined a date with him but thought he was one of the coolest nicest n intrinsic guys i have ever met. He used his lyric journal as the album cover and he titled it 'August and Everything After' Like an 'i will show you' is what i think. Well he sure did. He very much did. He did an amazing Show n Tell. I would love to get to talk to him again.
Thankyou! Sending out some love to you! Praying for peace. Thankyou for reading. Everyone matters here. We gotta stop a war. Do whatever you can to share the love n the stories of you n who n what you are. Big Heart Energy. Sit up on the hillside with me. See the peace up ahead in the distance? Feel it ... We can sled ride down if you want.
Open up your eyes... There's a bird that nests inside you, sleeping underneath your skin.,....when you open up your wings to speak...I wish you'd let me in....C.C.
@richardbosco4918 I got tickets for the Milwaukee show July of '24... My 1st Crow show... For the bucket list. I was at July '95 Soldier Field Grateful Dead, Jerry's last show.
The bright orange zinnia I picked for Adam, it took me hours in my garden searching for the perfect flower. When I gave it to him I told him ‘I brought you some sunshine.’ Thank you for the stories you tell. I wanted you-to sweep me off my feet that day I met you
Everyone clapping like this was a Natalie Merchant concert. What is up with that. This performance brought a tear to my eye just watching on RUclips with how good it was. Like, this rocked on so many levels. If I was there in person, I would have been screaming so loud at the end, I would have lost my voice. So much energy and such a great conclusion to this show. These fans need some coffee.
God I love this! Seen them recently and still brilliant but they haven't the energy they had back then Every word of every song he writes means something too. He doesn't waste a thing...
'Thank You' for this 'Brilliant' and 'Beautiful' 'Music' 'Lyrics' 'Hello' 'My' 'Adam' 'Mmmmwwwaaa' 'Mmmwwwaaa' 'Mmmwwwaaa' 'Kisses' for 'You' and 'Yes' 'We' 'can take it nice and slow' 'I will' 'My' 'Adam' 'Always' 'LOVE' 'You' 'Your' 'Darling' and 'Queen' XXXX
What happened to. "I'll walk alone these hillsides, The summer need the sunshine, I am feathered by the moonlight" session. I was looking forward to that
It’s actually “I will walk along these hillsides, in the summer ‘neath the sunshine” (as in beneath the sunshine). But you’re right Casper, I always looked forward to that part too but they always changed it up live. They rarely do this song live anymore. They were never able to play this song live as great as it is on the album. Great album closer 👍
Is there a more unlikely great frontman in rock than Adam Duritz? Just a pudgy Jewish white guy with dread extensions that is absolutely mesmerizing on stage and has been for 30+ years. Talk about not being able to judge a book by its cover!

Hey, How are you? Saw you were a fan of this awesome music and thought you might dig my original songs. Mind checking out my channel and letting me know what you think? Hope you enjoy! -Matt MacKelcan
I, for one, love the uniqueness they spin into every one of their live performances. If you want listen to the original, go listen to the original. People should go to live shows to hear something new. Not the same overpolished recorded bs you can play anytime in your living room.
Crows sound like shit live because his vocals are all over the place. Its not that the guy cant sing, its just he never sticks to the melody that was on the record. Ever. I saw them once and the guitars weren’t even in tune alot of the show.
Just found this. The Counting Crows aren't my favorite band but I love his passion and I like their music. Look at videos on RUclips and most artist are just following choreographed moves, concert after concert. It looks a little fake. I'll take a chance and see a great show like this. Emotion in the moment. You go where the music takes you!!! Just watch his version the "Rain King/Thunder Road"" from Pawtucket. It's a roll of the dice and that's what music is all about. This video just changed my whole mood today.
This was always so nice that they would play their songs live completely different and with other songs mixed in by themselves or other artists. That was one thing that made them really unique. I remember the "Recovering the Satellites" tour and in the middle of one of their songs they played Thunder Road and I was one of the few people singing along. A magic moment.
How many bands have three guitarists that can wail like these guys. Absolutely stunning musicianship!
Not many, but Foo Fighters is one of them
@@masonromero8680 Fun fact, Gil Norton who produced the Counting Crows's second album, also produced the Foo Fighters's second album
Iron maiden
Funny how the cc praise butter as their best talent. Slamming Norton.
Call me crazy, but Bryson is my favorite - he's the foundation that Dan and Immy build off of!
Who ever thought they would hear about Doris Day again? Adam is a talented performer. It's like he feels it with his whole body.
Such an underrated song - my fav of their 1st album.
mine too
After Round here but their 1st album is my fav.
Absolutely... the original is SO awesome, as is every song from that album. Have you ever heard the 1989 version of "Round Here" done by Adam's previous band? It's on here somewhere. It's HEAVY compared to the August version.
Same
Never heard two Telecasters trade wailing licks like this before. Epic performance!
i always thought the lyric was “there’s a perfectness inside you”, but its “theres a bird that nests inside of you”. both are beautiful.
I thought the same thing!
Music is god speaking to man, and him calling it back.... you found your lyric to speak to god.
Ha, me too
❤ When he says "I'm hanging on..".❤. Quote from U2 Red Hill Mining Town
Blimey! You boys are from a far better planet. A bit like us humans but lightyears ahead ❤

He very much did.

That’s a lovely story.
I enjoyed reading that. Hope life is good.
Your beautiful story gave me goosebumps. Thank you.

Feel it ... We can sled ride down if you want.
They hit with the Gin Blossoms. Loved the early 1990s. My son was just a kid in grade school. Could we please go back in time?
To the 80s tho❤
Pretty groovy in 2024! Much love from MS ✌️
Open up your eyes...

I would kill to have this man's stage presence! He rivals even Meatloaf with how much of himself he leaves on the stage...
Good wishes from England as a 70 year old who can still enjoy great music
He is such an emotional singer. He should be an actor too.
He sings the stuff in my head and heart. Change! Change! Change! You don’t want to waist your life.
That part where the crowd screams “Counting Crows” gives me goosebumps everytime!
I think this is the best version ever.... Adam rules
One of the last Great Touring Bands
Hello, my sweet, orangutan...
@@cosmicvagrant3980 I apologize for everything
@richardbosco4918 I got tickets for the Milwaukee show July of '24... My 1st Crow show... For the bucket list. I was at July '95 Soldier Field Grateful Dead, Jerry's last show.
3 weeks...
@@cosmicvagrant3980 You'll have your mind blown.
Those guitars are wailing, and they are awesome
I love these guy. 90’s music is the best. Better then 70s or 80’s. It the best of both. It was perfect for my life.
Each decade is great in its own way.
The bright orange zinnia I picked for Adam, it took me hours in my garden searching for the perfect flower. When I gave it to him I told him ‘I brought you some sunshine.’ Thank you for the stories you tell. I wanted you-to sweep me off my feet that day I met you

Fav, verse, as I walk along this hillside in the summer beneath the sunshine I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me
These guys are my fireworks.this year 2020 🐯 everbody wants to pass as cats
I’ve seen them on the 4th of July😊
@4:58 I just thought "wow that guitar sounds very U2" and then they do a "Red Hill Mining Town" snippet!!! 😍
Just turn this up loud and listen to it all
7 times on a Sunday…
@@MurphdogMandatesthrice on a Thursday....
love how he quotes red hill mining town by u2
Once i interview Adam, a moment i never forget
Yay! Sordid Humor!
Two great songs mashed up. Love it.
STEP RIGHT UP!!!! Into extended intro by Dan vickery gives me goosebumps every time
Im hangin on to my favorite alternate lyrics.
I lost every girl...I loved...my...bad...
Fantastic song, my favourite performance of it, the musicianship builds it beautifully and then the voice, bliss.
God I love this! Seen them recently and still brilliant but they haven't the energy they had back then
Every word of every song he writes means something too.
He doesn't waste a thing...
Possibly the only band that would get me over the “it’s a whole lot to people-Ly out there” to a live concert
The old ones are always the best ;) xx
Karen Wyld and sometimes also the new ones...before they become old !
The Best Poem ever! R.I.P KLH
in an interview he said this song was thought to be the first single, but the producers chose Mr. Jones
We were perfect when we started…
Where have we gone?
@@MurphdogMandatesopen up your eyes....
Love this song and performance of it.
you gotta love that adam is still rocking the 90s dreds 25 years later.
Adam's awesome, and wigs are great that way
They are gone now, just like my youth
Adam doing a bit of U2 there, I would dream to see Counting Crows and U2 in concert together.
Why? U2 is lame as fuck.
John Grohs I think that they opened for U2 back in the day, but I’m not 100% sure
LRO1986 true
it helps that dan vickery really, REALLY plays like the edge.
U2 lack the integrity or ability of Counting Crows.
Amazing version x
Helllooooo my sweeeet orangutan~!
I booked my tickets....
The best...
What a dead audience. I would've been jumping, dancing, screaming and sweating for these 2 songs
I don't wanna die...but I'm not living
Superb
"Step right up"
Im going to see them in Atlantic City june 28..They better be good.
How's it been?
I'll see them in Munich 21 November.
they're always good!
How was the show?
or else.......?
Doris day smh I choose 💘 live love laugh out loudly dance smile sing i get it now Lmao what I do it all the rest of my life its my turn to be me
...when the last song on your debut album contains the name of your band!
'Yes' 'My' 'Adam' 'Marry' 'Me' 'I LOVE' 'You' 'Your' 'Darling' and 'Queen' XXXX
Seek a Psychiatrist as soon as possible when they ask what the issue is, tell them you're delusional.
'Thank You' for this 'Brilliant' and 'Beautiful' 'Music' 'Lyrics' 'Hello' 'My' 'Adam' 'Mmmmwwwaaa' 'Mmmwwwaaa' 'Mmmwwwaaa' 'Kisses' for 'You' and 'Yes' 'We' 'can take it nice and slow' 'I will' 'My' 'Adam' 'Always' 'LOVE' 'You' 'Your' 'Darling' and 'Queen' XXXX
and I am all alone
i am still alone.

Casper Andersen it’s on the album he doesn’t do the album version live

His older performance style was much more reserved.

That y he sings , step rite up
I'm hanging on by a thread
would be cool if adam would sing...those guys just wanna sings backup vocals in those chorus but...they just can`t!!
manuto 666 they used to
Adam has gotta ditch this stutter delivery. Its a live performance cliché n he's gotta bad case of it.
Hey, How are you? Saw you were a fan of this awesome music and thought you might dig my original songs. Mind checking out my channel and letting me know what you think? Hope you enjoy! -Matt MacKelcan
That has to be the "gayest" remake of Doris Day I have ever heard. OMG, is that bad!! Go RUclips the real song by Sorid Humor.
Adam Duritz was literally in Sordid Humor
LSD TEARS sordid humor’s song is horrible
Wish he would drop the bullsht and try to sing it somewhat close to the original!!
HE is the Original
I, for one, love the uniqueness they spin into every one of their live performances. If you want listen to the original, go listen to the original.
People should go to live shows to hear something new. Not the same overpolished recorded bs you can play anytime in your living room.
I love this band! But they suck live! 😕
Who hates how he doesnt ever sing his songs like the album? I mean its not just a little off its REALLY off key and out time, just terrible
suggest you go to a Milli Vanilli concert feat. Justin Beiber -or as St Robinison says just go to hell'....
He sucks live
I’m sure I wrote this song. 🙃
Crows sound like shit live because his vocals are all over the place. Its not that the guy cant sing, its just he never sticks to the melody that was on the record. Ever. I saw them once and the guitars weren’t even in tune alot of the show.
